The article states that the Zamboni was replaced by an Olympia in the early 1980's.That's wrong. The brand used between the Zamboni and the Olympia was a Rinkmaster. I even Googled this, to make sure, and found a reference. From page 29 of the January/February 1993 edition of the "Cornell Alumni News":

--
The 1956 Zamboni lasted until1981, when a new machine—a Rinkmaster—was called on to resurface the ice.
